[Adventure] WGA4 Vecna Lives! (1990)David “Zeb” Cook (TSR)AD&D 2eLvl 12 – 15 This one is horrible and I knew it and I have no one to blame but myself and autism. I was reading through Die! Vecna Die! by Bruce Cordell which I read when I was young and which has a definite non-zero chance … More [Review] Vecna Lives (AD&D 2e); Getting Zebbed
[Adventure]CM6 Where Chaos Reigns (1985)Graeme Morris, Jim Bambra & Phil Gallagher (TSR)BECMILvl 17 – 19 A BECMI high level adventure that is close to acceptable. It does everything it can to sabotage itself just before the finish line but somehow at the end of it you have something that is close to good. The all … More [Review] CM6 Where Chaos Reigns (BECMI); Skirting Quality
[Adventure]The Seven Shrines of Nav’Qar (2008)James C. BoneyOSRICLvl 8 – 12 High level crawl continues. I’m beginning to see the aversion to Tombs for high level games, and arguably Tombs in general. Seven shrines by James Boney is inoffensive, playable, reasonably laid out, even does a bit of atmospheric tinkering and has some new treasure … More [Review] AA #8 The Seven Shrines of Nav’Qar (OSRIC); Tomb Fatigue
[Adventure]AA11 The Conqueror Worm (2009)Alphonso Warden (Expeditious Retreat Press)Lvl 10-14 I did a bit of research and allegedly Alphonso Warden is something of a notoriety among oldschoolers, a cobbler of ill-repute who practiced his trade not for love of the game, which he had not played, but to shore up a resume so he could … More [Review] AA11 The Conqueror Worm (OSRIC); Displacement Activity
[Adventure]Labyrinth of Madness (1995)Monte Cook (TSR)Lvl 15+ If you have been selected to participate in the contest of champions DO NOT READ FURTHER. SPOILERS AWAIT. The quest for the hidden high level gem begins. 2e has a deserved bad rap. Railroading, Storygaming, splatbooks, weirdo settings meant to be read and trash trash trash. LATE 2e … More [Review] Labyrinth of Madness (2e); Tech-demo
[Adventure]The Pharaoh’s Tomb (1976)Jim Ward (Judges Guild)Lvl ??? (8+) A tomb adventure. Maybe the first published tomb adventure ever? By the creator of Metamorphosis Alpha no less? Back to the Dungeoneer. Stone Age DnD is inevitably fresh, eager, brimming with youthful exuberance, but there has been considerable growth since then. Pharaoh’s tomb, like many of … More [Review] Pharaoh’s Tomb (OD&D 3PP); Small Step For A Man
[Adventure]Isle of the Ape (1985)Gary Gygax (TSR)Lvl 18+ WG6 is the last official entry in the official canon by Gary Gygax, and unfortunately it is also his least effort. Chunky, verbose, turgid, the whole is laudably ambitious but is as punishing to use as it is to play. Based on the original 1972 campaign, it … More [Review] WG6 Isle of the Ape (AD&D 1e); Slog of Slogs
[Adventure]WG5 Mordekainen’s Fantastic Adventure (1984)Robert J. Kuntz & Gary Gygax (TSR)Lvl 8 – 14 Twilight approaches. The great odyssey through Gary Gygax’s ouvre of fantastic modules, beginning with the platonic B2, covering the fantastic GDQ series, the stellar S series, the promising but ultimately unrealized T series, the interesting but sub-par EX duology ends at … More [Review] WG5 Mordekainen’s Fantastic Adventure (AD&D); Left-Hand Path
[Adventure]S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (1980)Gary Gygax (TSR)Lvl 8 – 12 The legendary S3. If the GD(Q) series can be seen as a roadmap for ‘normal’ high level adventures as T1 can be seen as a normal low-level adventure, the S series is where Gygax gets wacky and more experimental, and few things in … More [Review] S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (AD&D); Beyond
[Adventure]The Keep (1983)Daniel Greenberg, Samuel Shirley, Gregory Maples & Anne Jaffe (Mayfair Games)Lvl 9 – 12 Back with another Role Aids, for high level adventurers, written as an adaptation of an obscure 80s fantasy horror movie with time travel and nazis in it? Truly the oddest of oddeties. The Keep is a curiosity from the … More [Review] The Keep (AD&D 3PP); Echoes of Thulian Echoes
